Graphite and acrylic on adhesive vinyl on floor
Site-specific installation, Thkio Ppalies Artist-Led Project Space, Nicosia, Cyprus. Created as part of the solo exhibition How to Know: A Space, May 26 to June 17, 2016.
The work involved the duplication and translation of all cracks found on the cement floor of the space. I first traced all the cracks and then used the traced shapes to create my own “cracks.” These were made by cutting adhesive vinyl according to the tracings and by painting the vinyl to get it to resemble a stone texture. Each “crack” was then adhered on the floor next to its corresponding crack, with a translation of approximately three inches to one side and three inches towards the interior of the space. Very fine cracks were drawn directly on the floor using graphite.
